Non-slip bath coating at your home in South Alkham

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in South Alkham and across Kent. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no charge for travel to South Alkham. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in South Alkham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Shower trays
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Enamelled baths
  • Acrylic baths

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in South Alkham

Do you come to South Alkham?

We do. We send a technician to South Alkham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we are called out for in South Alkham

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
